Brake Fluid

Why should you get your Brake Fluid Serviced? Watch this video to find out.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Have you ever wanted to know more about your auto repairs but were afraid to ask your mechanic? This brief video provides you with information designed to help you make the right decisions about your auto repairs. Clean brake fluid plays a vital role in internally lubricating brake components and allowing your vehicle to stop efficiently, especially under heavy loads or high temperatures. The average motorist drives 10,000 to 15,000 miles and will use their breaks about 75,000 times. Brake fluids should be tested regularly and should be changed as needed. Service recommendations can range from 12 months or 12,000 miles to once every three years. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and may absorb moisture through microscopic pores in the hoses and seals. Break fluid saturated with water lowers the point at which the fluid may boil and may render your brakes ineffective, and could cause an accident. Left untreated, this moisture could also corrode many internal parts, leading to costly repairs and replacement. At high temperatures, water vaporizes, turning to air in the brake lines. From a safety standpoint, air in the braking system will dramatically increase the distance required for you to stop, possibly causing an accident and endangering your life and those of others. From an environmental point of view, there's very little impact, unless internal corrosion causes a fluid leak. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Brake Fluid

Clean brake fluid plays a vital role in internally lubricating brake components and allowing your vehicle to stop efficiently,
especially under heavy loads or high temperatures.

The average motorist drives 10-15,000 miles a year and uses their brakes about 75 thousand times.
We recommend changing the brake fluid every two years or 24,000 miles. Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture through microscopic pores in the hoses' and seals. Brake fluids saturated with water renders your brakes ineffective.

This could cause an accident. Left untreated this moisture could corrode many internal parts, leading to costly repairs and
replacement. At high temperatures, water vaporizes, turning to air in the brake lines. From a safety standpoint, air in the
braking system will dramatically increase the distance required for you to stop, possibly causing an accident endangering your
life and those of others. From an environmental point of view, there is very little impact unless internal corrosion causes of fluid leak.
